Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 15 September 2026

Top Cooking Oils is an informational website about cooking oils, food preparation, nutrition-related topics, storage, and kitchen use.

We do not currently sell cooking oils directly. However, some articles may contain affiliate links in the future.

1. What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a special link that allows a third-party retailer or affiliate network to identify that a visitor came from Top Cooking Oils.

If you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase, Top Cooking Oils may receive a small commission from the retailer or affiliate partner.

This does not normally increase the price you pay.

2. We Do Not Sell the Products Directly

Top Cooking Oils does not currently operate as an online store and does not directly sell the cooking oils, kitchen products, or other items that may be mentioned on the website.

If you follow an affiliate link, any purchase is completed directly with the third-party retailer or seller.

The retailer is responsible for matters such as:

  • Product pricing
  • Availability
  • Payment processing
  • Shipping
  • Returns
  • Refunds
  • Customer service
  • Product warranties

3. Affiliate Relationships and Editorial Content

Receiving a commission through an affiliate link does not automatically determine the conclusions of our articles.

Our goal is to provide useful information about cooking oils and related products based on factors relevant to the topic.

Where appropriate, this may include:

  • Cooking performance
  • Heat suitability
  • Flavour
  • Processing method
  • Fat composition
  • Storage considerations
  • Product characteristics
  • Value or price where relevant

A product's inclusion in an article does not guarantee that it is the best choice for every reader.

4. Product Information Can Change

Prices, ingredients, packaging, availability, nutrition information, product formulations, and retailer terms can change without notice.

We cannot guarantee that information shown on Top Cooking Oils will always match the latest information shown by a manufacturer or retailer.

Before making a purchase, please review the current product information directly on the retailer's or manufacturer's website.

5. Affiliate Links Do Not Affect Your Price

In most cases, using an affiliate link does not cost you anything extra.

The commission, if applicable, is paid to Top Cooking Oils by the retailer or affiliate network as part of its referral programme.

6. Clear Disclosure

When an article contains affiliate links, we aim to disclose that relationship clearly so readers understand that Top Cooking Oils may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.

A short disclosure may appear near the beginning of an article, product comparison, or buying guide.

7. Advertising and Affiliate Links Are Different

Top Cooking Oils may also display advertisements through services such as Google AdSense in the future.

Display advertising and affiliate links are separate forms of monetisation.

An advertisement displayed on the website does not necessarily mean we recommend or endorse the advertised product or service.

8. Third-Party Retailers

When you leave Top Cooking Oils and visit a third-party retailer through an affiliate link, that retailer operates under its own terms, privacy policy, return policy, and other rules.

Top Cooking Oils is not responsible for transactions, products, shipping, returns, customer service, or other activities conducted on third-party websites.

9. Our Goal

Affiliate revenue may help support the cost of maintaining the website, researching topics, updating existing articles, and creating new educational content.

Our aim is to keep commercial relationships transparent while continuing to prioritise useful information for readers.

10. Questions About Affiliate Links

If you have questions about an affiliate link, commercial relationship, or disclosure on Top Cooking Oils, please contact us through our Contact Us page.

Cold-Pressed vs. Refined Oils: What Actually Matters

Cold-Pressed vs. Refined Oils: What Actually Matters Short answer: Cold-pressed (unrefined) oils deliver bigger flavor and more of the plant’s natural compounds; refined (RBD) oils are cleaner-tasting, more heat-tolerant, and last longer. Use both—just match the oil to the job. Cold-pressed preserves flavor with minimal processing; refining removes odors/color and raises heat tolerance. The quick take (read this first) Cold-pressed / unrefined : vivid flavor; best for dressings, dips, finishing, and low–medium heat. Refined (RBD) : neutral taste, higher smoke points , longer shelf life; best for stir-fry, searing, and deep-frying. For everyday health, favor unsaturated oils (olive, avocado, canola, sesame, safflower/sunflower). Use saturated fats less often.

Smoke Point Isn’t Everything: How to Choose the Best Cooking Oil for High Heat

Smoke Point Isn’t Everything: How to Choose the Best Cooking Oil for High Heat If you've ever searched for the best cooking oil for high heat, you've probably seen the same advice repeated again and again: Choose the oil with the highest smoke point. It sounds logical. A pan gets hot, oil starts smoking at a certain temperature, so the oil that smokes at the highest temperature must be the best choice. The problem is that food science is not quite that simple. Smoke point is useful information, but it tells us only part of the story. An oil's behaviour during cooking also depends on its fatty-acid composition, antioxidant content, level of refining, freshness, temperature, cooking time and whether it has already been heated before. That is particularly important during frying, where oil can remain hot for much longer than it does during a quick sauté. So instead of ranking cooking oils by one number, this guide looks at what actually happens to oil under heat and how you ca...
